1914 Ocean Park, LA, CA Emma/George |
In the early days of the newly organized Los Angeles stake, the boundaries covered most of Los Angeles County including Alhambra, and Long Beach to Santa Monica. Initially the Stake had seven Wards: Ocean Park, Long Beach, Los Angeles, San Pedro, Huntington Park, Boyle Heights, and Hollywood. Additionally; Alhambra, Belvedere, Garvanza and Inglewood were branches of the new Stake. Branches quickly became Wards as membership continued to grow.In the beginning, there were three buildings built: Adams Chapel (below), dedicated in 1913 by Joseph F. Smith. This Chapel served as an important focal point of the Church for many years in Los Angeles. The prominent feature of the building was the stained-glass window “Joseph Smith’s First Prayer”.

First Vision HDR
This three-part stained-glass window depicts the appearance of the Father and the Son to a 14-year-old Joseph Smith. It was made in 1913 for the Adams Ward chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Los Angeles. It was removed when the building was razed in 1959, and is now on display at the Church History Museum in Salt Lake City.
